    A Pondering of the Peculiar

    Bingo, and therein lies your problem. Prophecies claimed and fulfilled! All within the same book that's authorship is questionable which also claims, with circular reason, that it is true. Just go ahead and claim what you know you have to claim in order to justify your cognitive...

    Another thing to ponder... If satan spoke you as God, would you know the difference?

    A Pondering of the Peculiar

    I'm not going to dispute you on past lives, there just isn't any way for us to tell. Your brain is what inhibited the storage of memories until later in life. If we are to believe in life before birth, the memory isn't going to reside in the brain you currently occupy. The point was, you...

    A Pondering of the Peculiar

    Sarah, where were you before you were born? I say that if death is the abyss then we won't even know it. The only thing you can do is fear the thought of it.

    A Pondering of the Peculiar

    This isn't a question meant for the non-believer. We can poke holes in the thought process all day long. But for someone who believes in a literal interpretation of the Bible, this can be more thought provoking. AV and most will dismiss it without ever really giving the thought any merit...

    A Pondering of the Peculiar

    For the sake of argument I'm going to say God doesn't lie. He left the evidence of creation all around us. My point in starting this thread wasn't about people committing atrocities in the bibles name or whether they were justified. My point was that if the devil corrupted your bible how...

    If he's so easy to detect in his deceit, why worry about him at all?

    A Pondering of the Peculiar

    If we are to assume the devil wrote the bible, then wouldn't you agree the content is questionable at best? If I'm not mistaken it is the book on which so many absolute truths are claimed. For the sake of this discussion we will use the standard meaning of "deceiving". I don't wish to see...

    A Pondering of the Peculiar

    I would imagine that to the devil the ends justify the means. Again, if God is evident in his creation, wouldn't the devil need something to throw us off the scent? Literal interpretation of the Bible does not agree with reality as we know it and has a lot of people convinced that the evidence...

    A Pondering of the Peculiar

    I've often wondered - If the Devil is "The Deceiver" and as I've so often heard "God is evident in his creation"... How are we to know that the Devil didn't write the Bible by whispering in the ears of the inspired? With this in mind, would it not make more sense to believe in what the Nature...

    Why are there no cows in the Devonian?

    I'm sorry to hear about your father. Losing someone so close to us is a hard thing to experience. I hope your offense with evolution isn't because you think it tries to demonstrate that there is no God. No one can know this for certain. When it really comes down to it. Evolution and God are...

    Why are there no cows in the Devonian?

    Then let me be the first to warn you Anya. What you learn may shake your faith. I know it did mine as it did for many others on this board. What it comes down to is if you are willing to disregard facts in favor of faith. Because faith is really the only leg you have to stand on.
